A healthy Hixon would seemingly lead the charge and be the man to beat in
such a scenario, but going into his second season with the team, Jernigan
actually feels like he's the man whose job it is to lose.

"It’s pretty much a business now and I’m thankful for the opportunity to go
out there and show everybody what I can do. I’m thankful that Coach Coughlin and
Jerry Reese are giving me an opportunity to step up to the plate and be the next
man," Jernigan said. "Coach will do the evaluation in the offseason
and during camp and stuff so we’ll see … but I’m approaching it like I’m the
third receiver.”

In his first year with the team, Jernigan hauled in a grant total of 0
catches for 0 yards. However, if you're looking for a silver lining there, it's
the same stat-line produced by Victor
Cruz in his first season with the team. Then again, Cruz finished his first
season playing five fewer games and eventually ended up on Injured Reserve
(IR).

If Jernigan is serious about this opportunity, and it'd be foolish to believe
he wasn't, the first thing he'll have to do is prepare and produce well enough
to shed the nickname given to him by head coach Tom Cough: One Play JJ.

Is this another incredible success story waiting to happen? Time will tell,
but you've got to love his confidence."

Hixon cause of the two season ending injuries last 2 yrs.
JJ being a rookie and not playing at all in first yr like cruz
And Barden for same reasons as Hixon plus he was drafted with high expectations due to his height and comparison to plax

Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-

# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:

1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!

Re: GIANTS' JERREL JERNIGAN EXCITED FOR OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE HIMSELF

I believe JJ can be a good #3 for us. I also think Hixon is most likely the one guy standing in front of him so he better work his *** off to prove he is better
